"The Boston House of HALLET, DAVIS, & Co. have for years enjoyed the most enviable reputation yet accorded to American manufacturers, and we are pleased to see that they have now outstripped all their numerous competitors, both in this country and Europe, by the perfection of their New Scale 7 oct. instrument, which, for superiority of tone, harmony, and power, far exceeds all its rivals in the square piano class. This Piano possesses so much power and clearness of tone, that it is readily taken for a full Grand when not seen by the audience, besides which its construction is of the most substantial character, the materials of which it is built being of the very best quality to be procured." - Newport Daily News. Special attention invited to these instruments, also to new scale 6 octaves, constructed on same principles.

"THE CHURCH HEARETH NONE BUT CHRIST."- Martin Luther. The object and intention of this Periodical is, to furnish interesting and improving reading for families, to enforce the duties, illustrate the truths, and strengthen the principles of a practical, renewing, and cheerful faith, and, by a devout spirit, a sympathy with all the truly humane movements of the times, and a good measure of literary care, at once quicken the zeal and encourage the trust of those who are seeking to attain "the life that is hid with Christ in God." Besides original articles of a miscellaneous character, each number will contain a sermon, not before published. This Magazine sustains no representative relation to any sect or party; it is held by no obligations to any special body of men; but aims to recognize cordially the Christian truths held by different branches of the Church; and would gladly serve the hopes and efforts which look toward a more perfect unity of faith and feeling among believers in Jesus Christ as the eternal Lord and Saviour of men, - the living Shepherd of a living fold.

LEONARD C. BOWLES, Proprietor, 247 Washington Street, Boston. University Press, Cambridge: Printed by Welch, Bigelow, and Company. THE character of the New-Englander, perhaps more than that of any other man, is the result of his home. It is not national so much as it is domestic. The virtues which make him stand out among men are not the acquirements of schools and colleges, of travel and society, the transmission of caste, the result of institutions, but virtues brought with him in all their power from the home, and set to work upon the world. He is not a conformer to things as he finds them, but sets himself to make them conform to him. Most tenacious is he of his identity, and, while others lose themselves in their surroundings, he is a Yankee to the end. No clime, no polish, no position, takes that out of him. It is told of a dervish, that by certain signs in the sand he not only decided that a camel had passed that way, but that he was lame and blind and had lost a tooth. And so by signs as unmistakable, sometimes as unnoticed by the careless, you may detect the presence, the influence of the New-Englander, though you may not see the man. I remember, some years ago, after passing through the State of Virginia, and becoming familiar with the peculiarities of plantation buildings and plantation life, that when I entered Fairfax County I felt as if I had been suddenly taken back to the quiet farms of my |
